Journeys (with)in: Securitisation of Migration in the Classroom
Posted by gpg201
21 February 2024Welcome to our Student-led expo!
Creativity and reflection took over our POL3300 Securitisation of Migration module this term. During our Reflexive Workshop ‘(De)securitising the Classroom’, third-year Politics and IR students created a series of collages conveying their learning experiences.
Paraguayan visual artist and arts educator, Ludmila Centurión Segovia, led the workshop and introduced the different types of collages: analogue, digital, and mixed-media. We opted for an analogue collage to have a material and sensorial experience.
Cutting, pasting, and re-imagining, we crafted together different renderings of our lived experiences as learners.

Lumi shared with us examples of collage-making from Latin American artists who use this medium as a way to express experiences of inequalities, resistance, and raising awareness. We explored the works of Betania Ruttia (Paraguay), Moara Tupinambá (Brazil), and Ariana Sánchez Romero (Ecuador) to get some inspiration.
The task for the students was to convey a memory, emotion, concept, or case study learnt through our module POL3300 Securitisation of Migration. We hope that you enjoy the expo below!
